Consider yourself lucky.

My public high school in Ontario was supposed to be a "magnet school for the gifted" and instead turned out to be a scam.

The computer class teacher was absent for a year, and the substitute teacher insisted that the keyboard and mouse cords should be neatly arranged at the end of each class as if it was a knitting class. The "coursework" consisted of learning how to type out "business memos" using a word processor.

The school believed that this was an important skill and imagined that we would be writing "memos" on computers and printing them out in the "business world."

I skipped every class I could to hang out with my girlfriend and got out with a 2.0 GPA.

The school in question has since been demolished. The whole scam was to try to prevent the school from being demolished due to low performance, so they pretended to be a "magnet school for the gifted."

My secondary school changed headmaster in 1990. The new headmaster declared that "computers were a passing fad" and ended all IT lessons.
